If you live and/or drive in Orleans Parish, new sets of electronic eyes may soon be arriving at an intersection near you.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu's administration, which announced earlier this year that the city would be expanding its traffic camera program in 2017, has now released a full list of 32 public and private schools where cameras will be helping to catch traffic rulebreakers in the new year. There will be a total 55 cameras being used at these locations.

Landrieu is pitching the expansion, which will nearly double the number of locations where speeders and redlight-runners can be cited by camera, as a safety measure, though it will also help generate about $5 million a year in new revenue for the city. Motorists caught traveling more than six miles over the speed limit in school zones can be cited.

A total of 55 new cameras will be deployed at the new locations starting January 9, and implementation is expected to be completed in April 2017.

The New Orleans Police Department will be responsible for deciding where those mobile cameras, along with five more that will added at a later date, are to be positioned.

Landrieu proposed the traffic camera expansion as part of next year's budget. The new cameras are expected to generate about $8 million total, with about $3 million of that sum going toward paying the contractor and city staffers involved in the program.

Residential input, accident records, traffic volume, and the camera installation feasibility at various locations were all contributing factors for site selection of the new cameras.

• Napoleon Avenue near St. George’s Episcopal School
